Recently, Arthur Martins of Brazil wrote, “The reason why I grow my beard is because I really think beards are a gift (otherwise everyone would have one).”  Others have expressed the same idea in feedback to the site over the years.  Yes, a beard is a gift.  Gifts differ, however, so not all men are capable of growing a beard.  Those with the gift of a beard should share it by growing the beard for all to see.

beard growing season

1 Comment

Today is the first of November.  The date has become sort of the official start of beard growing season in the northern hemisphere.  If you’ve been thinking of growing a beard, it’s a great time to start.  If you’re a little too shy to go it alone, start a beard-growing contest among friends or co-workers.  It’s the perfect excuse.  At the end of the contest, of course, you can always choose to remain bearded.

For those of you in the southern hemisphere, it’s a good time for you to start growing a beard, too.  There’s no real reason why springtime is less appropriate for starting a new beard than is the fall.

Start growing!
